The Rejection of tlio Johnson Claren-,

j England.
The all absorbing topic of com-!
versation* iu political circles, and
which is receiving its inll share of
discussion in the pr.Mic journals,
is the 'rejection of the 'JohnsonClnrcndunTreaty,
by the Senate,
and the effect npon existing relations
with'Lngland. l?y a vote or

wrongs which this country ha=
suffered from England, but somo
of ihem have even .suggested "the
* mode and measure of redress."
Mr. Sumner, the chairman of the
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations,
lifis m ado an elaborate
speech upon tlio pending issues
and has assigned the prominent objections
to the proposed treaty.
That treaty contemplated the submission
to a joint commission on
behalf of the American and English
Governments, claims of c't
sens of the respective countries
which have arisen since 1803, without
special reference to the Alaba
ma claims, or any acknowledgment
of error by the English Govern
mejit, in her course to this countn
during the late war. This doe.
not go far enough for Mr. Sumne
and his brother Senators Eng
land must in the treaty to. be rati
fied, admit that she was wrong ii
conceding belligerent rights t
. the late Confederacy, and this ad
mission must serve as the basU v
settlement and determine the es
tent of the injuries to be ndjudi
cated. The great objecti u urge
to the treaty isr that it provides 01
]y for thie settlement of a fe\v inu

. due reparation for the outrage uj
on "the sovereignty and dignity c
the republic.". Recognition of th
Confederacy was "the far roaehiu
and destructive wrong" wliic
giving ber cruisers a status upon th
high seas, and a shelter in Englis
ports, enabled them so long to rav
age "American commerce, and a
most entirely to destroy its. earn
ing trade. These wrongs must t
Acknowledged, and atoned for t
, making compensation for them, i
as "the uatu-ral and proximate" r
suits of the illegal act of rocogu
lion. Against that act the Unite
fctates has always protested as
point vital to the whole questro
aud which according to Mr. Sur
nornannnt lt/> ?!!vrpndered.

But does'Mr. Sumucr believe f
